So, what are the huge letters all about?

Feb 14, 2017

We’re glad you asked!

Lowcountry Local First is celebrating its 10 year anniversary with a community-wide art installation. You may stumble across a large 3D letter and wonder what it is and why it exists. Local ninjas have placed 10 letters all over the Lowcountry that together, spell “Love A Local.” We invite you to get out and try to find all of them through the remainder of February — but have no fear, we’ll release a map of the letter locations in March.

Thanks to these local artists who contributed to the letters, uniquely crafting them as our “love letters” to this place we call home and the local businesses who make the Lowcountry so unique and resilient:

Snap a photo of the letters you find and use the hashtag #LoveALocal to share love for a local business you are grateful exists. Maybe it’s your favorite local coffee shop, printer, restaurant, plumber, retail shop, recreation company, etc. Let them know you love them! If we don’t choose to value what we love, it will fade away.

Update: The 10 #LoveALocal letter locations were revealed in March 2017 with the below map:
